title: [The surgical treatment of uveal glaucoma].
abstract: The paper describes results after surgical treatment of 17 eyes with uveal glaucoma. Since conservative treatment could not achieve normalization of intraocular pressure, the following surgical interventions were made; peripheral intralamellar iridencleisis (7 eyes), sinusotrabeculectomy with basal iridectomy (4 eyes), iridocycloretraction (2 eyes), diathermocoagulation of the ciliary body (2 eyes), drainage by a silicon tube (2 eyes). Surgical complications were hyphema in 2 eyes, injury of the lens capsule in 1 eye; in 4 eyes a slight aggravation of the uveal process after the surgery was arrested by antiinflammatory therapy. Intraocular pressure normalized in 15 eyes. Visual functions increased in patients with early diagnosed and operated glaucoma; in far-advanced cases the operation removed pains, but no functional effect was achieved.
